Unleash the power of System Center for VMware and Hyper-V

Get app-to-metal visibility and protection

Watch this 3-minute video about Veeam Management Pack v7 for System Center

Take control of your virtual environment and be assured that your critical applications and services are running smoothly. When you virtualize your applications, you need full visibility into the virtual layer. Veeam® Management Pack™ v7 extends System Center’s monitoring capabilities to include Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere environments, as well as the Veeam Backup & Replication™ infrastructure. Veeam Management Pack’s app-to-metal visibility is what makes it the best third-party management pack for System Center.

Advanced Hyper-V visibility

With version 7, Veeam Management Pack for System Center supports both vSphere and Hyper-V virtual environments, offering the same features for monitoring, reporting and capacity planning for both hypervisors.

Veeam Management Pack extends System Center’s monitoring capabilities to include Hyper-V and vSphere virtual machines and hosts, the hardware, storage and network resources they run on, as well as the Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure. Veeam MP automatically integrates System Center’s native monitoring of critical applications like Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server and provides drill-down view from the application, to virtualization layer and further to the hardware sensors data.

Topology views for fast problem resolution

Veeam’s topology views of storage, network and compute environments give you a deep view of critical relationships and dependencies that extends from the hardware level, the virtualization layer, the VMs, all the way to the operating system and the applications running inside a VM.

With all of the moving parts in a dynamic virtual infrastructure, it’s important to know what will be affected if a problem occurs. For example, Veeam’s storage topology shows you exactly which VMs are running on specific storage resources and you can see all the services that could be affected if something should go wrong. You can drill down at any point for real-time data. And Veeam MP’s smart monitors dynamically correlate data from the virtual environment, alerting you to potential problems before they have an impact.

Avoid downtime and meet SLAs

If you run a business that is always on, you can’t allow performance issues to affect production.

And you can’t waste time wading through metrics and alerts, only to find out that a problem has already affected your critical business applications.

Veeam MP’s in-context dashboards provide live information with drill-down capabilities. With customizable heatmaps to help you visualize data, you’ll see at a glance what the most important problems are and where they are occurring.

And once you’ve pinpointed a problem, you can link to comprehensive knowledge bases for both vSphere and Hyper-V. The knowledge bases help you identify, troubleshoot and fix problems on the spot, with recommendations and step-by-step instructions.

Empower your operations team and maximize ROI

If you’ve already deployed System Center 2012, you want to get the most out of your investment in this best-of-breed monitoring framework. Veeam Management Pack integrates directly into the System Center Operations Manager, giving you a unified management interface for monitoring and operations.

Veeam Management Pack not only works with System Center, it adds value with deep visibility into the virtualization layers. This app-to-metal visibility is what sets Veeam Management Pack apart from other third-party management packs. And Veeam MP increases virtual data center efficiency with analysis reports to provide recommendations on right-sizing and optimization, pinpoint the hotspots and bottlenecks, track configuration changes and root-causes, and reveal the top troublemakers in your virtual environment.

Manage your Veeam Backup & Replication environment

If you run a business that is always on, you can’t allow performance issues to affect production.

And you can’t waste time wading through metrics and alerts, only to find out that a problem has already affected your critical business applications.

Forecast and plan

Instead of reacting to situations that have already occurred, will know well in advance when your virtual environment needs more resources. Veeam MP leverages the data you need to justify strategic plans and budgets. Veeam MP’s capacity planning reports let you examine trends, forecast resource needs, use “what if” modeling and track resource over-commitment in your vSphere and Hyper-V environments.

And with capacity planning for backup repositories, you will always know the amount of free space on your backup repositories. Veeam MP predicts when you will run out of available storage capacity and recommends how to adjust the allocated storage resources to meet future demands for backup storage.

Once in a while you work on something which is so cool that you have to share it. The undersized and oversized reports in the Veeam management pack are extremely useful – by changing our allocation of resources we were able to free up resources and increase performance for systems which were under resourced.
